In some of the towns in this and 9th
er states, the Mayor has issued an or
der fOrbiding the lighting Of fire-crack-
ers and the firing Of guns, pistols and
other fire arms, till after noon on July
4th, within the incorporate limits.
Do not think because the HERALD
says less about tine Celebration this
week than last, that the interest in
Independence Day has abated. -
Everything is being done that is nee
essary to be done to make it a success.
Come everybody.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Detwiler lost
an infant aged about two years, by
death from cholera infantum, last
Thursday. They came here from Glen
Elder recently and IN that short time
have made many friends who viii
deeply sympathize with them in their
sad affiictiOn.
Boys should be stopped from throw
ing fire crackers and other explosives
under the feet of horses and people.
1t causes a nervous shock to many Ia
dies to have fire crackers explode I'M
der her feet. Horses are liable to be
frightened and to run away, causing
serious accidents from the explosion of
fire-crackers.
One reason why Kansas towns are
enjoying such boom and spending so
much money in improvements is, that
before prohibition she sent out more
than S27, 100000 for liquor; last year
she sent out about $1,000 900. This
difference is used at home and the re-
suits are plainly seen every day.-Hia-

town. It is understood that their
mission now is to designate the spot
where the depot is to be. Quite a
number of our citizens called upon /
them ut the Commercial House !
Thursday evening. The COrnet Band /
serenaded them the same evening.
Every line set in a newspaper Office
costs somebody something. If it bene- /
fits an individual or firm it should be /
paid for. If the grocer were asked to I
donate groceries TO a person abundant |
ly able to pay for them he would refuse. !
The proprietor of a paper must pay .
for the free advertising if the benei- /
ciary does not. Every publisher ought /
to refuse to give free puffs Of other
mems business. They are gratuities /
that demOralize business. - Printers /

Next Monday is July 4th. Let US
suggest now that great care should be
taken TO avoid accidents from fire
crackers, firearms, sky-rOckets, etc
Every Independence day, painful acct
dents happen in different parts of the
country. We have personally known
of three accidents from fireworks in
one OF which a little girl was killed, in
another man was crippled for life and
TaIr
though not fatally injured.
Remember the grand celebration of
the Fourth of July next Monday. At
this writing everything indicates that
the celebration will be a success. The
committees haYe been diligently at
work the details, we learn, have been
looked after; the grounds put in order;
the musicians and speakers engaged,
the fireworks purchased, &c. If the
weather is favorable there will be a
large crowd here and a ''big time.''
Come everybody. Come early and
stay late.
An intelligent man who has been in
Kansas some time, recently wrote TO
the ShawneetoWn, Illinois, News: Do
these: The soil is rich and dry, pure
atmosphere, winds sweeping down
from the mountains of COlOrdO. No
sWamps; no bugs, no soreness, no aches
and pains IN the bones in getting up in
the morning; no sluggishness in gong
to work. sleep is a luxury; an appetite
like a threshing machine, the blood
goes bounding through the veins at
forty miles per hour, and this Is why 1
like Kansas.
There is TO be a grand Army Re
Union at Logan, August 29th, 30th and
31st. The Logan Freeman says that
this will be the most brilliant affair of
the kind ever held In the county we
have no doubt. Eminent old veterans
will be in attendance to pay the elO-
quent tribute and narrate the thrilling
tale. A number of posts have signi-
fed their intention to be present; the
Cawker City boys say they will be here
with three days ratiOns and a brass
band; also the Phillipsburg Post. Mr..
Lowe of this place is one of a commit
tee Of arrangements.
Mr.. RI. Keller. of this county who
has charge of large drove of cattle a
few miles east of town, informs US that
he IS thoroughly familiar with a few
counties in northern Kansas, and with
Webster, Adams and other counties in
Nebraska. He formerly re-
sided at Hastings, Neb. After dozen
years Of observation he has come to the
conclusion that Phillips county is so far
as soil is concerned, as good as Adams
county, Nebraska, and is a vastly better
live stock county, because Of our num-
